SUMMARY
Steeped in history, this enchanting Grade II Listed cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special home where period charm and modern family living exist in perfect harmony. Tucked away down a private lane, every arrival feels like an escape from the everyday, yet the city, excellent schools and major road links remain just moments away.
Inside, the cottage immediately captivates with its wealth of original features. Exposed timbers, historic brickwork and magnificent fireplaces tell the story of the home's heritage. The impressive inglenook fireplace creates a cosy focal point, whilst the dining room and stylish kitchen/breakfast room provide the ideal setting for everything from relaxed family breakfasts to celebrations with friends. Upstairs, 4 double bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, each benefiting from built-in storage, served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room, offering both practicality and flexibility for busy family life or guests.
Whether it's watching the seasons change from the windows, entertaining on the lawn during the summer months or enjoying a morning coffee beside the picturesque duck pond, this is a home that offers a lifestyle as much as a place to live. Combining character-filled accommodation with exceptional privacy and idyllic grounds, this is a truly unforgettable home that will appeal to those seeking something wonderfully unique.
OUTSIDE
Set within approx. 0.6 acres (STMS), the grounds are every bit as captivating as the cottage itself, creating a haven where nature and timeless beauty come together. Approached via a private lane, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion, with a gated driveway leading to the detached double garage and providing extensive parking.
The gardens have been lovingly established over years, with expansive lawns, mature trees, colourful borders and pathways encouraging you to explore every corner. At the heart of the grounds lies the enchanting duck pond, a truly magical feature that transforms the garden into a sanctuary. There's ample space for children to play, keen gardeners to indulge their passion, or simply to sit back and appreciate the privacy this exceptional plot provides.
Combining the charm of a country retreat with the convenience of being just minutes from Norwich, these remarkable gardens are as much a part of the home's appeal as the cottage itself.

The Grade II listing highlights its historical and architectural significance, with features like exposed beams, traditional brickwork and an impressive inglenook fireplace providing a glimpse into its storied past. The period construction and thatched roof are testaments to its heritage. Nestled within a conservation area, this home not only carries a unique character but also benefits from protective measures that maintain its authenticity and charm for future generations to enjoy.
